Well it has been a while since I wrote anything on here, so here's a fun story for ya!
Last weekend Me, Becca, and Karisse took a trip to Sydney. We left the coast Thursday night around 8:00. Our plane landed in Sydney around 10 then we caught a cab to Freshwater. Becca knows a family there so they let us stay with them for free. When we got there around 10:45, we set our stuff down then Trish (the mom) took us out to the local pub. We weren't there long, since the pub closed at midnight.
Friday we made our way into the city. We saw the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge which were both absolutely amazing! We walked around down town Sydney for the rest of the afternoon. That night we went to a sailing club with Trish and her friends. We got there and found out that the tide was so high that we had to walk through the water to get to the door. When someone went to the door, they found out that it was locked. And of course the guy with the key was running late. So we sat around waiting for the key. We finally got into the building and it was very cool. We sat around and talked for a while. We tried our hand at fishing and Karisse caught an EEL!! Finally diner was ready. We had a great meal and some funny conversation.
First thing Saturday we went to Bondi Beach! When we got there we got some fish and chips for lunch. It was the best fish and chips I've had since I got here. We walked around the beach for a little bit then caught the bus back to the train station. After Bondi we went to Sydney Stadium. We looked around the AFL shop a little bit (Becca bought a Jersey) then left. We found some markets and looked around there. When we got back to the city we went to the Queen Victoria Building. Its a really nice building with really expensive, designer stores. That night was Becca's and my birthday celebration. We had a lot of fun that night.
Sunday we went back to the city. We went to Pancakes on the Rocks for lunch. It was an amazing meal!! We walked around the markets at the Rocks after that. We then walked across the Harbour Bridge. It was so pretty. We went to Luna Park, got in for free, and left about 20 min later lol. We went back to Freshwater early that day. We had a great meal at Trish's house that night.
Monday we stayed in Freshwater. We walked to the mall and walked around there for a bit. Then we went back to Trish's house and just hung out until it was time to head back to the coast. We took the ferry into the city, which was very pretty. From the ferry we took the train to the airport.
None of us wanted to leave Sydney. It is so pretty, and I feel like there was a lot more that I wanted to see and do. Good thing I'm going back in August :)
Hope all is well!!
